DotA 2 is coming soon and sometimes I ask myself when watching Gamescom replays: “What the hell is going on”. If you wish to play dota 2 as a competitive gamer then you will need to prepare yourself and get some skills.

Where to start?

The most obvious answer and probably the best is to play dota. Get yourself Warcraft 3 and start playing dota mod today. Many heroes and many gameplay’s characteristics will be copied into DotA 2 as claimed by Valve and IceFrog as they are trying to keep the good old gameplay intact. There is ton of guides and tutorials on how to approach the game for best results.

Similar genre games to dota are League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth. If I’d need to pick one that resembles dota that would be Heroes of Newerth. The whole gaming experience is very similar to dota as many heroes are very similar.
